If you don't leave a voicemail, I don't call you back. I don't surf my missed calls and waste my time calling potential callers I don't know. If your reason for calling is important you'll leave a message (or text). The attitude of not returning a person's call when they leave a voicemail isn't young, it's immature (I'm not going to call Mom because she's bugging me, nyah, nyah). How about this situation: I call someone, I get their voice greeting and realize I called the wrong number and hangup. This dickhead calls me back. Why are you calling me? Did I ask you to call me? NO. Expecting someone to call you when you don't leave a message is fucking stupid. Here’s the other side of the coin. If you don’t leave a voicemail, I don’t call you back.

I get phone calls from people whose number I don't know, and have no idea if it's a cell or landline. They don't leave voicemail or texts to let me know who they are. This is frustrating.

You know...basically when and where I feel like communicating. not only should you not leave a message, but don’t call at all unless voice-to-voice communication is absolutely necessary.

My mother will call me several times while I'm at work, leave a message or two, and THEN text me asking to call her back when all it was was a simple question like "Did you feed the cat?" Couldn't that have been solved with a simple text and answer rather than blowing up my phone? I totally agree!
